Help needed, Lian Li V300 or Silverstone Sugo?

Hi all,

This is a bit of a follow up to my earlier thread where I asked whether or not small form factor cases were suitable for top of the range systems (in regards to heat when running demanding software)

Having been convinced that small form factor PC's can take the strain I am faced with the problem of choosing a case. At first I had the Sugo down as a dead cert but the V300 seems to be well regarded.

I probably prefer the look of the Silverstone but it sounds like Lian-Li are better quality.

Which would you guys go for? Also does either have advantages over the other regarding graphics card and CPU fan room?

Thanks

The sugo can take upto gf8800gts cards. Sugo has an issue with cpu coolers but if you get a silverstone nt06 lite (and a 120mm fan psu) then you will have no issues in regards to cooling - it was meant for the sugo.

Will the graphics cards not get smaller in future anyway meening that it will be able to hold more advanced cards?

What issues does it have with CPU coolers exactly?

Thanks again.

I believe the Sugo can have 3 HDD's if no floppy drive is used but I am not sure about that, can anyone confirm?

I still havn't got either of the cases as I have put off upgrading till the C2D price drops, however I am leaning towards the Sugo. The thing swinging it for me at the momment is the fact that the Sugo is a smaller case yet seems to have more room inside (no need to hack it up for larger Gfx cards)
